Devm_ functions allocate memory that is automatically freed when

Replace pci_enable_device with pcim_enable_device. Remove unnecessary

The adc driver uses of_iomap() which doesn't request the resource and

devm_ functions is required.
This patch switches to use devm_ioremap_resource() instead which
automatically requests the resource and is freed when the driver
detaches.
Removed the error handling to unmap I/O registers i.e.
iounmap() in probe and remove functions of this driver and
consequently removed an unnecessary label.

staging/android/ion : fix a race condition in the ion driver
There is a use-after-free problem in the ion driver.
This is caused by a race condition in the ion_ioctl()
function.
A handle has ref count of 1 and two tasks on different
cpus calls ION_IOC_FREE simultaneously.
cpu 0 cpu 1
-------------------------------------------------------
ion_handle_get_by_id()
(ref == 2)
ion_handle_get_by_id()
(ref == 3)
ion_free()
(ref == 2)
ion_handle_put()
(ref == 1)
ion_free()
(ref == 0 so ion_handle_destroy() is
called
and the handle is freed.)
ion_handle_put() is called and it
decreases the slub's next free pointer
The problem is detected as an unaligned access in the
spin lock functions since it uses load exclusive
instruction. In some cases it corrupts the slub's
free pointer which causes a mis-aligned access to the
next free pointer.(kmalloc returns a pointer like ffffc0745b4580aa). And it causes lots of other
hard-to-debug problems.
This symptom is caused since the first member in the
ion_handle structure is the reference count and the
ion driver decrements the reference after it has been
freed.
To fix this problem client->lock mutex is extended
to protect all the codes that uses the handle.

Staging: gdm72xx: Remove gdm72xx driver
Remove support for gdm72xx driver from the kernel since Wimax is dead.

Chrome OS can distribute this driver alongside their library.
staging: gs_fpgaboot: drop wrapper function 'finish_driver'
Remove the function 'finish_driver' since a direct call to
platform_device_unregister() is intuitive enough to signify the original
intention of the function being removed. Coccinelle semantic patch used to
detect this:

staging: dgnc: cleanup properly
dgnc_cleanup_module() was called when the module unloaded to do a total
cleanup and it was also called if pci_register_driver() fails. But
dgnc_cleanup_module() will try dgnc_remove_driver_sysfiles() but the
sysfiles will be created only if pci_register_driver() succeeds.
So if pci_register_driver() fails and we try dgnc_cleanup_module() then we
were getting:

staging: dgnc: unregister pci driver
We may choose to load the module without the hardware present. That will
register the pci driver but since probe will not succeed so
dgnc_NumBoards will be 0. Now if we unload the module then the pci
driver stays registered as dgnc_NumBoards is 0. And if we try to load
the module again it fails with the error:
"Driver 'dgnc' is already registered."

staging: dgnc: remove pci_unregister_driver
If pci_register_driver() fails then dgnc_NumBoards can never be more
than zero. dgnc_NumBoards is incremented only at the end of a successful
probe. And moreover if the pci driver has failed to register then we
never need to unregister it. Lets just print the warning, perform the
cleanup and exit with the error code.
